Question

Quest 3S freezes and restarts itself after 10-20 minutes

I had a post about it on reddit - https://www.reddit.com/r/OculusQuest/comments/1m07m0c/quest_3s_freezes_during_playing_and_restarts/

The problem is simple - while playing screen gets frozen and after 10-15 seconds it restarts itself. (I play on both standalone and PCVR and it happens in both cases)

My headset is pretty new, i had this problem just the day i got it. Factory resetting helped for around 4 days or so, and now it started happening again. No overheating or errors, it just does it randomly like in 10-30 minutes of playing. I tried doing factory reset again but it didn't help this time.

Any help is appreciated

While i was trying to find out what was behind this problem i've stumbled upon this problem in ALVR's logs: 

Client client.wired: [Info] Last log line repeated 3 times
13:09:11.371 INFO Client client.wired: [Error] FIXME: Leaking Imagereader!
13:09:19.489 INFO Client disconnected. Timeout

I tried to find anything close about it, but i can't find any solution to my problem

 

Those are the stats from MQDH when freeze happens: https://imgur.com/a/NXlawJ3
